Course objectives
This course is designed to offer an overview of fundamental GPU programming methods and commonly utilized techniques, with a specific emphasis on shader programming tailored for 3D rendering applications. Students will acquire practical knowledge in GPU programming dedicated to 3D rendering tasks throughout the course. Additionally, they will grasp the workflow associated with special-purpose high-level programming languages like GLSL.
Learning outcomes
After completing this course, students will be able to:
- read and explain the functionality of existing GLSL shaders;
- design and implement their own GLSL shaders;
- understand and articulate the capabilities of modern GPUs for rendering 3D scenes.
